Living with chronic illness - or simply feeling trapped in the “shoulds” of life - can feel like a cage. But what if your symptoms, struggles, and contradictions were not weaknesses… but initiations? In this post I explore how owning your rebellious nature and contradictions can ignite personal revolution, spark rebirth, and lead you back to sovereignty. Whether you live with chronic illness like I do (POTS, NCS, and EDS), are experiencing burnout, or are simply heavy with the weight of other people’s expectations, this is your reminder that rebellion is the new medicine.

I hope this email finds you well. Today I’m sharing some of the things that are helping me navigate this unusual time. To be honest, I struggled with whether or not to release this blog post. That’s why it’s so late coming out. I didn’t want to give the impression that these practices are making this time a breeze for me. Quite the contrary. However, these practices help me come back to myself when I’m feeling out of sorts, on the verge of a breakdown… or after one has happened. So, no, I’m not doing this" perfectly and I don’t think there is a template for how to do that, because COVID-19 is affecting us all to varying degrees and in various ways. And that is why, I finally decided to put this post out.. Because I believe that no matter how uncertain things feel or how anxious or depressed we become, eventually we will make our way back to ourselves if we have a foundational relationship with our divine nature. That said, I wanted to give others some ideas of practices they could come back to when the time is right. Big love to you. I’m cheering you on from afar and I hope you enjoy this post.

Life after trauma can be difficult. Days, months, or years may pass before we realize that we are being affected; going through life with unconscious triggers and mysterious illnesses. Then, we wake up. We realize that trauma is at the root of our pain and even if it feels there is no way through, there is hope. In this post I share a bit about my journey and a few tools that help me navigate.

Cold and flu season may be among us, but it doesn’t have to scare you into staying inside all day (that’s actually one of the worst things you can do!). There are plenty of ways to stay healthy this time of year.. naturally. Have you ever stopped to think about why it is that cold and flu “season” seems to suddenly spring up around the same time every year? Well, I have and modern science has a lot to say about that too. Turns out, it’s not truly a “season” and the uptick in illness has a lot to do with lifestyle changes in the colder months. Fall and winter is a time to go inward, be introspective, and cozy up to those we love. While years ago society was set up to support these natural shifts and periods of rest in the body, today’s culture is not. Chances are, if you make a few subtle changes in your daily routine and put some extra emphasis on self care, you’ll stay much healthier during these darker months of the year. In my latest blog post I’m sharing what works for me, some of the science to support it, and reminding you to incorporate more ease into these busy winter months! Bonus tip not in the post.. open those windows! It may be cold outside, but opening windows, even for a few minutes allows air to circulate and can naturally rid your home of germs. Happy reading!

Fall has long been one of my most favorite times of the year. Unfortunately, it’s also when I begin to feel the weight of season depression setting in. It feels as if it sneaks up on me (although I’m sure it has to be a gradual shift). Before I know it, the sun is setting before dinner and it’s pitch black when I roll out of bed. The shorter days and longer nights are naturally reflected in our emotional and spiritual lives. However, through the years I have learned that while it may be natural, even healthy, to take this time of year to go inward and do some deep internal work, we also don’t have to go so dark that we find ourselves crawling out in the Spring, wondering if we even have an intact friendship left. Trust me, I’ve been there and I don’t recommend it.

Seasonal depression can be rough and while I won’t say I have mine completely under wraps, I have made great strides. Managing my seasonal depression is a work in progress and even though I do still have dark days, the tips I’m sharing in today’s blog post help me keep my head above water.. maybe even my heart! So, if you or someone you know struggles too, this post is for you. XOXO ~Amanda
